Two Programs. One Mission. Endless Possibilities.
JPS offers two SHINE programs, thoughtfully designed to meet students where they are in their educational journey:
|
SHINE |
|
SHINE is an eight-week, paid summer internship for Tarrant County high school students with a passion for healthcare. Participants explore clinical and non-clinical roles, build professional skills, and gain clarity about college and career pathways in healthcare, with the opportunity to earn healthcare certifications.
|
SHINE U |
|
SHINE U is a four-week, paid internship for college students pursuing healthcare related degrees. Students gain hands-on experience aligned with their academic focus, work with healthcare leaders, and complete a capstone project that prepares them for employment, graduate school, or professional programs.
During the application window, students applying for either the SHINE program or the SHINE U program will submit:
- Basic contact information
- Two references
- A one-minute video explaining their interest in SHINE and what they hope to gain
Selected students will complete a supplemental employment application and undergo standard preemployment screening, including a background check and occupational health requirements.
